Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get machine with two NIC, one for iSCSI, one for PXE. 2. Connect to iSCSI target and to PXE server. 3. Install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 1 Version 11.1.0.19 4. Follow installer and get to GUI part (yast). Actual Results: Only one interface (PXE NIC) is up and connected to PXE server. iSCSI NIC interface is down and no connection to iSCSI LUN is possible. No disk were found and partitioning part of setup is unable to perform. Expected Results: PXE NIC interface and iSCSI NIC inteface are both up, IP parameters are get from DHCP or/and from iBFT, LUN is connected and installer is able to install OS on iSCSI target. I have a workaround. I can add withiscsi=1 command to boot options, which gives yast installer possibillity to get iSCSI parameters from iBFT table and this parameters are properly visible in GUI part of install. But interface is still down. So I get to yast shell and up interface connected to iSCSI target and renew its IP through dhcpcd command (DHCP server is running to give parameters to NIC option ROM). Then I get back to GUI and now I can sellect LUN. I think, that installer should automatically bring up all neccessary network interfaces. I also tried with autoyast, but with no results. <interface> <bootproto>dhcp/ibft</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <startmode>nfsroot/auto/onboot</startmode> -> I tried this all configuration and I were unable to bring iSCSI inteface up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
